Leaking GM Transmission Cooling line Disconnect fittings - Chevy Impala 2007 4T65E 4L80E 24236554

[@robinbowlin3058]

I just want to say thanks, I did this job my self for 40. $. the parts were 18. +×. I appreciate your video.

[@jorgemartinez8584]

Where u found de parts man I have this problem in my car ???

[@OneLegged-honda-mechanic]

You don't need to remove the retainer ring when installing line, the line is made to push through the retainer ring and click into place.

[@headhoncho4890]

I figured this out after wasting 9 quarts of fluid

[@RonPaulLover123]

*update* I just finished fixing my my leak with the help of this video. I bought the "picks and hooks" tools and stopped by home depot and picked up some #5 O-rings danco 96722. All I did was disconnect the bolt from the line. Then stretched the O-ring around the line down to the lip stopper. I pushed the line back into the bolt and snapped in the clip so the bolt and line were reattached securely then bolted it back in. No more leaking transmission fluid!!! $10 for pick set and $2.27 forO-rings

[@ws6transam1971]

you actually dont need to take the clip out to push the line in. saves a huge headache. :D just push the line on with the clip installed ;)

So i know this is a Chevy but my Jeep Liberty has the same problem. I looked all over for a how to and you sir are the only one. Thanks so much.

[@GETEMBEAU81]

Props to you klowny1969 I was scrambling to parts stores to find the cooler line assembly for my grand prix, turns out it was just the fitting. You saved me...............some bucks!

[@jaymays8800]

+GETEMBEAU81 Gotta do the same for my grand prix. My mechanic wanted to charge me $120 for the repair. Yeah right! .... J

[@YNTGUNS]

I have a 08 and mine is leaking from the same place i thought i had to replace the whole line thanks to this video i don't. Thanks! Going to start the change now!

[@klowny1969]

awesome..thanks for watching

[@raymondluna1092]

This fixed the transmission on my 07 Buick lacrosse. I was loosing pressure slightly at first casing a slip while turning and accelerating then it got progressively worse it wouldn’t engage gears! I fixed the orings on the cooler likes and topped off my transmission it drives brand new!

[@rickneubrand7936]

Thanks - much appreciated. I used the GM disconnect tool rather than using a pick - your way to remove that clip looks alot easier.

[@keithambrosino6451]

Great video cheap part to fix annoying leaks. Simple to do. Man I wish Mr.Softee was here in florida!!! Missing new York's old days.

[@klowny1969]

lol love mr softee

[@mkl5448]

If you're going to do the lines, especially the front two, have the fittings before you start. Is much easier to just return them later if you do not need them. Speaking from personal experience, it's very annoying to stop the job to go get extra parts.

[@klowny1969]

Thanks for that.dont forget to subscribe

[@thomascmurphy5128]

Nice Sir. 1st time I have encountered these and was in the dark. Appreciate your time and effort

[@klowny1969]

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@dannyf4995]

Generally this is a very nice video although one issue during the installation was wrong. The retainer on the AcDelco fitting should be pre-assembled before installing the fitting. Removing the retainer, as you show in your video, is only during tube line removal, means when you wish to disconnect the transmission line. This fitting is a Quick-Connect unit, so for connecting the tube you just need to push the tube against the fitting until you hear a "click".

[@caseyavery9874]

What's part number for the fitting above that one

[@dannyf4995]

casey avery I'm not sure I understand your question, However there are many types and sizes of transmission line connectors. Whenever there is a spring as you show in the movie that fitting is a Quick Connect unit. Means to install the tube u just need to push the tube inside while the spring is already installed.

[@christophernorkus6173]

Thanks for adding this information- it is just what I was looking for.

[@the70oojudge]

@@caseyavery9874 Did you ever find the part number for the longer fitting that was above this one

[@mikedavidson7470]

Thanks for the video!! Just changed both of them on the trany and no more leaks! And it was easy. Get you a cheap set of picks, makes getting the clips off easy.

[@careful7951]

You can leave the spring clip in and just snap the line in. Once you get the fitting off. But if you can't get the fitting off the Rad or the trans then you have to take the clip out and reinstall it.

[@maryherrold7323]

you just saved me hundreds of dollars.. thank you thank you thank you. I went from terrified to OK with just your video.

glad i was able to help

[@polo91until]

thank you! some shop tried to get me, talking bout we need to replace ur lines for $533! i checked it and it was the same exact fitting leaking nothing else

[@northeast13eric]

The the new trans quick connect fittings on my 4L60E were leaking bad after I replaced the rotted cooler lines. If the cooler line is not going in straight and is a little cocked its gonna leak. You may have to bend your line a bit to get it straight. It drove me crazy and I hope someone who is having this problem reads this.

[@suebonucci9444]

northeast eric I'm going nuts trying to get a new line in do you start from the front and try to wiggle it back in

[@BRG13DEAN]

Have you had any problem with the line popping out of these fittings? Mine has done it three times going down the road. Pain in the ass.

[@juangranados2408]

[@zacharydestefano7610]

is it the same process on the radiator side?

[@wntmedia8590]

I'm getting a slow leak near the head on the nut, so hopefully it just needs a tighten, I've been working on my 04 Monte for a few months can't wait to get it back on the road

[@achum2sum]

klowny many thanks I replaced radiator the hard way today and a fitting leaked after. Now I know I could have used a dental pick and snapped off those spring clips it would have been twice as fast instead of wrenching all those fittings off. Dang.

[@leonardlebrun865]

Comes out a lot easier when you hold it in your hand

[@tdsmith8502]

Klowny - I've got a 2008 Chevy Impala 3.5 LT with currently 193000 miles My transmission went at about 145000 miles and was repaired/ rebuilt by local transmission shop. Question: being a novice I have no clue what transmission fluid they use so I went by the shop as the gasket was leaking and asked they said Dextron vI was overkill and I didnt need that fluid and that his shops stuff was good. But I still dont know what his shop uses if I need to add at a later time. What should I do?

[@Bear_83]

Awesome Man!! mines is leaking from the vertical fitting very lightly. changing it this weekend.

how did u get the other line off? I can't get a wrench around it at all because the trans is in the way. Also how do you get the other end off the radiator because its at the bottom left of the radiator

[@hllywd964]

how did you get the part number for this?

[@daveghjhhj505]

I just changed both lines on my 07 Uplander. just want to add some stuff. those fittings corrode badly. buy the fittings and clips with the new lines. and if you have to unscrew the fitting on the rad, don't panic when the antifreeze pours out. just be ready to catch it.

[@vidznstuff1]

If the fitting on the rad is pouring out antifreeze, you have a serious problem

[@markriley5784]

Great video. Loved the Greek joke as well: "I put the clip in behind because I'm Greek". lmao

Thanks lol

[@jonniejones7980]

I have a 2003 Buick Rendezvous. Can you tell me, if I were to take the fitting from the transmission line off (from the top of radiator), can I just install a new fitting back in there Without having any problems with the flow of fluid in the coolant system? Thank you!

[@minnesotanice369]

hey boss so I paid 2500 6 months ago to have my 2007 ls 3.5 impala transmission rebuilt because it lost drive. still operated in 1st and 2nd. so two days ago it went out they said I destroyed the differential and axle separated. my question is how do I know they even rebuilt it in the 1st place and didn't just replace the drive band. I think you're the only person smart enough to know. also what are your thoughts on just buying a new reman compared to having it rebuilt if you doubt they'll do what they claim. thanks Bro!

[@klowny1969]

uncle maff sometimes they stamp the case with the shops initials or rebuild date..u can also tell by looking at certain parts like the clutches and stuff..new reman instaled by a shop and going to a reputable trans shop should be the same

[@minnesotanice369]

klowny1969 update tranny back my differential shattered... not standard operating procedure replacing that inherent problematic gear ratio designed for better mileage but not torque...

[@fusetechllc]

Another "improvement" that cost time and money to repair. Flared lines rarely leak and have no o rings to fail. Heat is the enemy of o rings and car makers should go back to flared fittings.

[@klowny1969]

[@quintinlawrence8271]

Is this the same for a trailblazer

[@craiggerlach5548]

I see there is option for check ball style connectors as well, not sure if that is just to stop fluid loss when swapping lines, hopefully not a 1-way valve. Mine rusted out right at the fitting, hoping the rust did not cut the o-ring in case part store in woods does not carry these.. Then if check-ball style were ok to use, not sure what they may carry.. Here they are far more I am sure, even online they are 5 a pop for non check ball and 10 with..

[@craiggerlach5548]

From what I have seen, you put clip on before you push in line and it snaps in place when locks.. then locking cap goes over..

[@craiggerlach5548]

Bigger one is with check ball if they ask...

[@reverendsunshine86]

[@WaveAction777]

Are those lines aluminum? Anyone have an issue with the line itself, or is the problem mostly with the fittings.

[@RALPH531967]

It's easier if you took the clip off of the one on the car then pull the line out then install the new one with the clip on it then the line pops into the clip.

[@kristinecriscimanni4737]

I realize this is an old video but are those lines located under the driver or passenger side ???

[@rainingnone9285]

i have an 08 impala and have an issue, was wondering if you have experienced it. when coming from a stop sometimes it wont go that quick. I can hear the engine accelerate but it only moves a little then jerks to the next gear ( i think). it only does it sometimes though so i don't know what it is. i am sure it's something transmission related. I don't mind getting jerked around but not by my car ha ha

[@websterfelicia86]

Raining none Update?

[@charlesshaw2671]

Torque converter

[@ilovemyevo556]

pressure solenoid..

[@ilovemyevo556]

try changing fluid and filter first. If not metal shavings have caused the solenoid to not work. have to pull the tire, the axle and the side cover plate to get to it.

[@scottcanche1696]

on the vertical line another comment said there's a yellow piece?

[@ApexxJimmy]

I couldn't get the adaptor over the the little bump on the transmission line. I tried screwing it in without clip...still wouldn't go over the bump. I also tried to use my body weight to push the adaptor over the bump and it still wouldn't work. is there a secret to getting the adaptor on the line, like lube or do you think I need a different one? is the adaptor the same on both ends of the transmission line???

[@klowny1969]

Something doesnt sound right

[@chrisjones8515]

Are those 2 line fittings the same size? Same size for both lines?

[@BRG13DEAN]

Have you had any problems with the line popping out of these fittings? Mine has done it three times in the last four months and it is a new fitting as I did new lines and fittings when I had my trans rebuilt.

Great Thanks car is leaking and this is the cause , just a question Do you have to replace both of those fittings as in one on each line ? or is it only the smaller one ?

[@tomast4823]

+George Ski Did you get an answer on this, are they two different fittings?

[@GPski]

+TOMAS Taylor On my car there was one short , and one long fitting. The long one was leaking, It was obvious and I replaced only the long one for now . I also found the power steering hoses to be badly leaking, that's another video..

[@tomast4823]

Just confirmed for those that have to go though it. The long connector part (#800-637) is for the vertical tranny cooler line and the short one as described in this video is for the horizontal tranny cooler line. Both were leaking so I replaced both but had issues at the various part stores getting a definitive answer on which part goes where. Now we know. Thanks, George Ski.

you should put the clip on the fitting first then push the hose in then screw it on.
